Tapio can also judge general European EPP (Euro Paddle Pass) standards.

If you want to take part in this training or pass EPP standards, please contact us for further info. The courses are regularly in Finnish, but EPP standars are easy to judge in English also.

Pekka has written an extensive paddling book material to the net. In cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Finnish Canoe Federation, Santa Sport and Wasalab Oy. From the address: http://melonta.wasalab.com, you can find information on paddling equipment, techniques, safety and touring.
The text has been divided into three columns: for the self educating paddler, for the paddling instructor and for the bureaucrats.
With the index you can jump to any given header. With each column header you can force the other columns to the same coinsiding header.

Check out and read! You will definately learn something new.
